Default Table for Two? (Macro)

It's been ages, so I thought since I finally have some time on my hands, I'd pop in and share a few shots.

Life has been getting in the way of photography lately, and I'm losing confidence, as I still can't take the shots I want to.

In any case, I enjoyed watching a spider preparing his dinner and thought these came out ok.

Nice couple of macro images you have there mate, I love taking shots of spiders. Just goes to show how string their webs are to capture and hold a wasp in it like that. Well done a really nice set of images.
Thanks for sharing them.

Especially like the second shot, the background bokeh is a really nice colour

Funny how people feel drawn to the same things at the same time. I'm not a wasp fan, so I am happy that my little friend and his mates are doing their best to keep the population down!
